Correlation Between Efficacy And Efficacy Of Vascular Complications

medications among males (Kakkavas et al., 2013). This research study will use The Health Belief Model to investigate the correlation between African-American males with dual diagnoses’ of HTN and ED who are non-adherent to anti-hypertensive medications. More specifically, this study will scrutinize the adverse side effects of anti-hypertensive medications in relation to complications of untreated HTN, one of which is ED. The results of this study could be used to educate

Background: In 2015, chronic diseases were the leading cause of death worldwide, “accounting for 63% of all deaths” (Schaepe & Bergjan, 2015). Last year, the estimated prevalence of chronic kidney disease (CKD) globally was between eight and sixteen percent (Schaepe & Bergjan, 2015). Patients are often diagnosed during the latter stages of CKD due to the lack of symptoms earlier on, and as a result, require dialysis or renal transplantation to prolong or sustain their life. Unfortunately, the

with efficiency continues when the vascular surgeon arrived at eight o’ clock in the evening deviating from the original hours discussed that early morning. Because of the lack of communication between health care professionals including the family physician and the surgeon, the permanent damage was done to the client. The client had to undergo a leg amputation above the knee. Although the court ruled in favor of the defendant, failure of proper communication between the healthcare professionals can

Pain is a complex, unpleasant, and disruptive sensation. The day-to-day pain people experience from a paper cut or a flu shot results from the activation of nociceptive receptors at the site of tissue injury, which is known as nociceptive pain. Some individuals also have experience with a different type of pain, one that is chronic, intractable, disabling, and it arises “as a direct consequence of a lesion or disease affecting the somatosensory system” (Treede, 2008). This form of pain is neuropathic

mmol/L). HbA1C, which relects the glycemic status of 2-3 months has been recommended for the diagnosis of DM with a threshold of > 6.5%. Long-term complications of diabetes include microvascular and macrovascular complications(39). These complications are mainly attributed to the duration of disease and overall glycemic control. Micro vascular complications include retinopathy with potential loss of vision; nephropathy leading to renal failure; peripheral neuropathy with risk of foot ulcers, amputations

INTRODUCTION Nutraceutical, a term derived from the words ‘nutrition’ and ‘pharmaceutical’ refers to food or a constituent of the food which has been scientifically proven to provide health and therapeutic benefits such as the prevention and treatment of a disease. The term was formulated by Dr Stephen de Felice in 1989. Nutraceuticals have a role in maintaining and improving the wellbeing and health of an individual as well as regulating immunity. Consequently preventing and treating particular

As discussed by Dr. Fink, hypertension is a multifactorial phenomenon. The hereditability based on twin studies suggests levels as high as 30-60%, but a familial correlation may also originate from environmental factors or lifestyle habits. Specific genetic polymorphisms that may contribute include mutations in controllers of vascular smooth muscle tone and the regulators of blood volume (Mitchell, 262). It is important to note that the genetic contribution is most often polygenic in nature and

Diabetes Mellitus is a chronic disease that can cause damage to many end organs, including the eye if it is not controlled.1 Diabetic macular edema is one of the many complications that can occur from Diabetes Mellitus. It defined as swelling or thickening of the eye’s macula, which results from blood vessels in the retina leaking fluids.2 The retina and macula work together to allow for sharp central vision.1 When individuals with Diabetes Mellitus have poorly controlled hyperglycemia, the blood

or “malignant” form of endocarditis and coined the term “mycotic aneurysms.” The term “mycotic” is a misnomer suggesting fungal infection, though it was originally intended to refer to all microorganisms [5]. Osler established a clear connection between endocarditis and its bacterial origin (“micrococci”) through histology using bacterial Gram staining, which at the time was novel in medical practice. He defined the mycotic process in the setting of endocarditis as the transference of microbes from

Abstract Vanadium complexes have been synthesized, characterized, and tested as possible insulin-enhancing agents using STZ-diabetic rats. The vanadyl complexes, bis(maltolato)oxovanadium(IV), BMOV, bis(ethylmaltolato)oxovanadium(IV), BEOV, and bis(isopropylmaltolato)oxovanadium(IV), BIOV, were compared for glucose-decreasing capability against vanadyl sulfate, when administered to the rats at a one-time dose of 0.1 mmol kg–1 body weight. After the injection, blood levels of vanadium were recorded
